CW: anti-Asian racism, short
@OctaviaConAmore @mayintoronto
The #ModelMinority myth is anti-Black racism and internalized colorism is endemic.
It’s wild out here in these digital streets.
Keep your head on a swivel.

In American politics both parties sellout their voters, its true, but no one really goes quite as hard as Republicans when it comes to screwing over their die hard supporters.
This is an American political "leopards ate my face" moment that should be taught and shared widely. Blunder of epic proportions.
This is how Trump treats "model minorities"...

@msquebanh
This is usually people who think the concept of #ModelMinority was a feature, not a bug of the messy system they are in.They view themselves as the feature.
It’s a form of narcissism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites should go without saying this is how the #ModelMinority among fascists serve their purpose: they're the most likely to get convicted and thrown in jail.
it's such an important, and often misunderstood, form of narcissism. it explains them voting against their interests. they're special, they're unique. consequences won't dare to touch them.
the narcissism of "am too precious to suffer consequences" is the road block to antifa solidarity; not "identity politics".

3. wants to take away right to vote for anybody under 25; unless conscripted. has never served time in US military
4. says capitalism doesn't favor caste systems; claims to be Brahmin --the highest Indian caste
5. parrot's Andressen & Thiel claims that USA's real problem is "the pervasive censorship of citizens”

Intelligent. Hard-working. Quiet. Obedient. Analytical. High-Achieving.
These are the pervasive #stereotypes of the #ModelMinority #myth some #AsianCanadians & #immigrants say plagues every aspect of their lives, keeping them from being seen & living as their full authentic selves. -

"The success rate of proposals led by Asian scientists is about 20 percent below the overall rate — a disparity that has persisted for two decades and runs counter to the common narrative that Asian Americans dominate the sciences and engineering fields in the United States."
